Tristan picked up the blood stone to observe it and the system actually showed up.
[Low Quality Kraken Blood Crystal]
[Absorb? Y/N]
Kraken..? From his memory of the mythological beasts of the world which he inherited, Tristan recollected the image as well as the details about Kraken.
A mysterious ocean world called Pirate World. It was connected to three different subservient worlds of major hegemonic powers - Human World, Ghost World and Battle Body World. The Pirate World was considered a free World, a world that was able to maintain its independence from major powers due to having connections to many major hegemons.
Pirate World had a myth of a legendary peak creature called the Kraken. It was extremely powerful and invincible in the sea. It could be considered a beast comparable to the singularity mammoth.
Such a beast's blood was being used to cultivate this Cursed Blood Text. What exactly was the purpose of the Cursed Blood Text? Is it strengthening? And how was the Kraken's blood obtained? It has also been heavily diluted.
Tristan tried to follow the Cursed Blood Text to absorb the crystal but it did not work, so it was definitely some foreign technique.
Tristan then tried to absorb the crystal through the system.

[Curse Resistance 0.001%]
Curse Resistance, a new trait appeared. Tristan thought to himself. Does the Kraken have an innate resistance to Curses? Tristan quickly absorbed the remaining two blood stones as well.
Was the purpose of the Cursed Blood Text to get curse immunity? Tristan observed other members who were cultivating as well and discovered that it only caused an increase in strength. There wasn't any other visible effect. Also to complete the first stage one had to absorb a thousand blood crystals, the speed of which depended on the talent of the pract.i.tioner. With this Tristan had a straightforward plan.
Tristan went to Jack's office.
"Oh...Jimmy? You are back so son, is there a problem?" Jack asked. "You should cultivate hard to become stronger."
"Chief, I've absorbed the blood stones that were given to me." Tristan said.
"So fast?" Jack asked, but he became suspicious.
He took out a blood stone and threw it to Tristan. "Absorb it here and show me."
Tristan created a gash in his hand and then attached the blood stone to the gash. In his mind he ordered the crystal to be absorbed and the crystal disappeared within seconds.
When Jack saw that he was shocked, but he saw that this guy Jimmy had a blank look like he didn't think anything was out of the ordinary. Immediately, Jack realized that Jimmy might become a rising star in the Sect and decided to befriend him before that happens to sow goodwill.
Jack became friendly and patted Jimmy's shoulders. "You are talented. Come with me, I'll take you to the warehouse. You can absorb as many as you can. Once you absorb 1000 stones, come to me and get the second part of the Text.
Tristan then entered a huge storage area where there was a mountain of blood stones. He had a lot to absorb, but he couldn't mess around right now, he had to gently absorb one thousand stones over three days or so.
The growth of curse resistance was not arithmetic, but rather geometric. It took 1 stone to get 0.001%, but 2 stones to get to 0.002% from 0.001%, 4 stones in total to get to 0.004 % from 0.002% and so on. Thus 0.016% requires 1+2+4+8+16=31 stones.
Eventually Tristan would require millions of low quality stones to max curse resistance completely. The amazing thing about the Kraken crystals was that it didn't lose its effect after repeated absorptions, which was very rare.
Tristan spent next two days absorbing one thousand crystals. After leaving, he wasm't followed anymore, but he noticed on the second day that someone was watching his "house" to see if he followed the routine when not being followed. After that on the third day he seemed to have pa.s.sed their verification.
On this day, Tristan went to Jack again saying that he had completed absorbing one thousand crystals. Jack was shocked, but he had seen the near instantaneous absorption and believed that Jimmy might end up becoming a chosen child soon.
The second part of the text was how actually about using the blood crystals to fortify the blood along a specific cultivation route and become stronger. The text also said that by practicing it, one gave up something to curse the blood to become stronger.
Tristan was confused by this part of the text. The Kraken blood had curse resistance, but the cultivation technique provided strength by cursing the blood. of the body. Tristan was supposed to absorb 100,000 blood crystals to get the third and supposedly final part of the Cursed Blood Text. In this zonal section there was no one who had reached the third part yet.
However Tristan had plans to change that situation. Every day he went and absorbed thousands and thousands of blood stones from the warehouse. He was consuming more blood stones than all other zonal members combined. He simply said that his cultivation became faster as he used the second part.
One week later, he had absorbed a hundred thousand stones.
